I am currently taking Chantix. I have tried every stop smoking aid out there. You first take .5 mg for the first 3 or 4 days, then take .5 mgs twice a day for the rest of the week ( while smoking ) You are suppose to quit smoking by the 7th day. I was really worried about this product working since I figured I would be lowering my cigarettes sub-consciencely for that first week. The last day came and I though, this isn't going to work. The next day, I opened the second packet of Chantix, which is 1mg twice a day. As soon as i got to work, the pill kicked in, and I was dang now I feel something working.
It makes me feel like on the edge of being sick but not being sick. I feel like if i was to smoke a cigarette because of habit, it would make me sick.
I haven't smoked for 2 days and trust me only once did i think about smoking and it was about 30Min's after i got home from my dreadful day at work. Also, its close for me to take my second pill for the day too
Chantix seems to work........
PS I hear they are testing it out for alcoholics too.....

Chantix, I just quit using it. It's a pill, not cheap, but costs no more than cigarettes. If quitting can be easy, then this was. Every now and then I want a cigarette, but the feeling goes away. You will feel so much better. GO FOR IT!! and the best of luck.....

Good for you...wellbutrin is actually quite successful, and cheaper, you may want to try it first, if it doesn't work for you, try the other one everyone is suggestion...my husband quit on wellbutrin 2 years ago, and other people (me) smoking around him does not bother him.
he smoked from age 12 to 36...

I have heard a great many good things about the new drug called Chantix, discuss it with your doctor.

Chantix, apparently it blocks the nicotine receptors in your body making you not even realize you don't have it.
I don't understand how it works but it does
